Singlewall Carbon Nanotubes as Torsional Springs in a Nanoelectromechanical Device
ORAL
Abstract
Nanoelecromechnical devices have been fabricated that utilize an individual singlewall carbon nanotube as a torsional spring for a fully suspended, lithographed metal platform. The torsional properties of the structure were measured through repeated deflection with a scanning probe tip. We discuss results of such measurements as well as progress towards high Q oscillator behavior and integrated device arrays.
